It's really **** adorable and I love it for that, but I'm not a huge fan of the just straight up MLP proportions being applied retroactively to Ponyta. It is very much in line with how new pokemon are designed stylistically, though. And this kind of re-stylization already happened with Vulpix and other Alolan forms, so it's really nothing new. Just a generational change.

Saw people hypothesizing that Rapidash is gonna be a pegasus and I would be super on board with that. If they're gonna make it MLP might as well go the whole damn hog lololol
